Throwback Thursday: No. 1 Florida vs. No. 14 LSU From 1997

This was when Death Valley lived.

I went to LSU from 96-01 and this game for me other than the O7' Florida game were the most fun in Death Valley I have ever had a games. The "Spurrier Days" and those prior arse whippings(to be nice)caused my hate to this day to run deep for the Gators. I still enjoy beating them even as much as Bama because of those years.

Interesting fact about that game... actual attendance was 327,259.

I think that this was the last game I attended in TS because of moves, work, family, etc. I was on the field after the game. The experience was so great, I'm not sure I want to go back and see what the game day experience has become but I'm sure I'll be back one day.

Damn, Espn cfb theme was awesome back then. They should've kept it.

I still have my ticket stub.

Tyler ran the shite out of that option. Can you imagine Herb at QB with Fournette behind him?

This was my first ever LSU. As an 11 year old kid my father who was a student at LSU at the time rewarded me for having the Honor by taking me to this game. The best treat a kid could ever ask for!

First ever LSU football game. Great memories. I remember rushing the field and helping tear down the goalposts

Been going to games with my dad for 28 years (including the 2003 BCS Championship Game). This is the one I'll remember as the best ever. On a side note, the ESPN Saturday night crew was the all time best CFB TV crew.
